I hardly ever leave reviews, but this is the worst company Iâ ve ever paid money to. I gave them a recent roofing and gutter project because of an experience I had with them in the past. I contacted them to do a job previously a while back, but they ended up correcting their mistake and doing the job at no charge. So, I contacted them recently out of appreciation. This time, they picked up where they left off consistently made unprovoked promises that they never kept (when they will come by to check the roof, when youâ ll receive an estimate, when theyâ ll arrive, when theyâ ll call you back, how theyâ ll do something extra for you that you didnâ t even ask for). They made sure I knew I wasnâ t a valued customer every step of the way. This time they were supposed to replace a gutter, re-coat a roof, and power wash the siding and deck. They replaced the gutter without replacing the downspout/leader pipe and said I didnâ t ask for it although I pointed it out when they came to evaluate and they agreed. The day after they replaced the gutter, it was leaking and pitched the wrong way. Additionally, their power washing job was so irresponsible and destructive that it damaged the paint job and wood on my deck as well as some paint from my neighborâ s house. One of the business owners told me with a straight face that is how a power wash is supposed to look when itâ s finished. You be the judge. Then, they returned to fix the poorly installed gutter after I contacted them multiple times in between rain storms. They kept changing the time and tried to send workers without a managing supervisor. I told them that was unacceptable considering the job was done wrong in the first place. So, after repeating myself multiple times about my concern, one of the business owners came to supervise. When he came, they fixed the gutter (I hope) and told me that he did the work for me for free as if it was a favor and not a correction. Ultimately, I now have a roof that I hope has no issues and a destroyed deck that I have to repair. They offered to paint the deck at no charge if I buy the paint (that I didnâ t need before they destroyed it), but Iâ m not letting them anywhere near my house ever again. Just hoping the roof was done correctly and no issues, but fully expect problems given the poor quality and service. I guess thatâ s what I get for giving them a second chance when they were unprofessional to begin with. Worst company ever.

Vinny is friendly, amicable and professional. He always answers my questions. His workers came early to my house in the morning and hardly took a break until they finished at 8 pm. They did a great job, my roof looks amazing. I was happy with the service which his company provided.

3 workers arrived at my location bright and early. Began working on my chimney right away. The workers took there time to explain the work they were about to do. Cleaned up my yard of all debris. Vinny showed up when the job was almost over to make sure I was satisfied with the work. Will definitely be calling Vinny again for other projects I have coming up soon.

Virtyt (Vinny) Zeka was phenomenal. Out of the three contractors who came to give an estimate, he was the only one who took extra time to investigate the problem and, ultimately, the issue was not what the other contracts said it was! Vinny was extremely professional and a true pleasure to work with - he had provided the quote and documented the issue with photos, delivered the replacement part and performed the repairs on schedule that he had initially provided. I highly recommend this company and would use them again!

My husband and I was very pleased with Vinny and his crew. The crew got to our home during the hours they promised. They worked continuously to clean the chimney, remove old gas structure as well as old grate and replaced the inner fireplace walls with new walls. Vinny took the time to explain what was being done and what needed to be done. He was easy to talk to and willing to work with us regarding price. His team made it possible to have our fireplace up and running in one day! We are very pleased to have hired High Standard Construction.

Vinny and his crew were awesome. When he came to check on my job to clean fireplace chimney I asked him to check furnace chimney also It had never been cleaned as far as I know for 50 years. He found a dangerous crumbling seam that had opened in the basement in an exhaust pipe leading to chimney. He was so concerned that he had his crew start the repair the very next day. He also cleaned out the foot of gunk that had accumulated at bottom. The chimney on roof also had crumbling, loose bricks so they replaced it all new -- they also found rotten plywood around base of chimney due to poor flashing so they repaired all that. Now I feel very secure. I also asked him about gutter covers and found that they did that as well -- so all is great. I asked him to send me the before/after photos he and crew had taken of each step. Incredibly, he came back to house a week later to send them in person to make sure I received all OK. I felt his rate was very reasonable and am very fortunate that I chose High Standard for the job. They are great!

This Company is all about the personal touch and great service. Vinny brought us as many samples as we requested. His priority was to ensure that we were satisfied. All I can say is that they did a fantastic job and were a pleasure to work with. I would give them more stars if I could. I wish they did all kind of work. We need more providers like this. Punctual, respectful and leave everything super clean. Simply First Class

Vinny and his team did a great job on replacing the retaining wall. Good quality, on schedule, competitive rates. At some point there was an unexpected issue. But after a brief discussion it was quickly resolved. Totally satisfied with their service. Going to deal with them again for another project, and highly recommend these guys to anyone.

Each and every person who works for this company is highly professional, does excellent work, answers questions and explains the work needed and done, and is friendly and respectful. The owners are wonderful, too. I give this company the highest ratings available because their people and their work earned it. I will hire them for any work I need to have done in the future. They are the best!

The representative/project manager did not appear on the date of work and I was told he would be there, would provide the work order agreement, cost etc. on day of work. Workers were aware of what was to be done, but, did not appear to want to do the work and tried to up-sell me to replace my chimney which I told the Rep. that I had the chimney evaluated, was told what to have done and the approx. price to pay by a contractor friend. Three workers for three hours cost $1250.00, probable labor cost $180.00, materials maybe $150.00 and workers appeared to be day laborers (I doubt they were masons) with poor communication skills. I overpaid. Other issues involve spraying waterproofing onto my lawn and dumping water used to wash out sprayer into my garden. My wife was very angry about the mess they made and the poor cleanup.

He arrived as discussed and performed the work a day ahead of schedule. So far the roof repair has solved the leak through our stove exhaust. He explained everything that was needed and promised if his work didn t stop the leak that he would return at no cost. I will use this company in the future for sure. This is in contrast to the previous contractor who charged less, but didn t fix the problem and when I called, suggested that the next time it rains that I go into my attic and look for where the water may be coming from.

They showed up before the contracted date to begin work which was great. They completed all tasks ahead of schedule. The only issue was they fixed a loose shingle by gluing it down and it came loose so they had to come back an nail it down which seems to have corrected the issue. I did have a signed contract with them that noted the deposit I gave them. When I paid in full and asked for them to note that on the contract they said they would but have not done so which is concerning given that they asked for the final payment as a hybrid of check and cash. I will have my check for the receipt but without them acknowleging the cash payment on the contract that is concerning.
